Bezos is no more “Amazon” than the president is “the United States”. We’d still have all those companies if their executives had to pay more in taxes.

The parent comment didn't mention Bezos. Since the majority of individual wealth created by Amazon is reflected in the price of Amazon stock, then taxing executive salary would have the likely effect of shifting more compensation to stock grants, etc.
